Cell phone radiation and cancer: Just how much more scientific proof do you need?
Cell phones emit a dangerous non-ionizing form of electromagnetic radiation; radiation which can be absorbed by the tissues and cells which come into close contact with the phone, e.g., the head and neck. Scientific studies in the past have produced conflicting results; however, more recent studies working with long term exposure, (ten years or more), […]
Why You Need Cell Phone Radiation Protection
Cell Phone Radiation Protection Editors Note: Mobile phone radiation and health The concept of measuring safe levels of cell phone radiation exposure using a specific absorption rate (SAR) has been around for many years, but recent developments have test methods in question by the FCC for public safety concerns. The thermal and non-thermal dividing line […]
FACT: DNA Damage at below safe Cell Phone Radiation Levels
Readers are probably familiar with the idea of electrophoresis, although they may not know the term. The technique is used for DNA fingerprinting to determine paternity. In television documentaries we often see forensic scientists holding a small X-ray film with lines of bar-codes. These bars are the physical locations of the genetic material after the […]
Cell Phone Cancer Link: Two Studies Provide New Evidence
Cell Phone Cancer Link Cell phones didn’t really begin to happen until 1973. According to Wikipedia, during that year, a Motorola executive made an experimental phone call to Bell Labs — named after the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell (this is a shoutout, ya’ll) — using a handheld device. Although some may argue […]
Government reassessment of cell phone SAR testing
Reassessment of cell phone SAR levels testing Scientific research to date has not demonstrated adverse human health effects of exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy from mobile phone use, but research is ongoing that may increase understanding of any possible effects. In addition, officials from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of […]

CURRENT SCIENCE ON RADIATION FROM CELL PHONES
CURRENT SCIENCE ON RADIATION FROM CELL PHONES – Radiation is the transport of energy in an electromagnetic wave. These waves are used by cell phones to communicate. But not only the cell phones emit also devices like the TV, microwaves, hair dryers, stove, computer screen, radio antennas, electric light, etc.. Even in nature. The sun […]
Reported Health Effects From Non-Ionizing RF Radiation
Reported Biological Effects From Non-Ionizing Radio-frequency RF Radiation Low Level RF Radiation Health Concern The following studies indicate biological effects at cell phone rf radiation exposure levels which are far below what can be explained by “thermal effects”, and well within the range people are commonly exposed to every day on their cell phones. NOTE: […]
